Helton Family History | Find Genealogy Records & Family Crest

Helton Genealogy & History

Recent DNA testing traced the Helton family history to people who migrated to the Americas more than 4,000 years ago. This accounts for the relatively high percentage of Heltons in the United States with Native American ancestry. Spelling variations include Elton, Ellton, Eltone, and Hilton. It is possible that Helton is a locational surname, referencing Hylton Castle, which still exists in Monkwearmouth next to the banks of Wear River in England. Helton genealogy includes Colorado Rockies first baseman Todd Helton, five times an All Star, four times a Silver Slugger, and three-time winner of the Rawlings Gold Glove Award.
